Behind every project milestone are the people who make it happen.

Yesterday, we brought the Ric-Man BBQ trailer out to our Ann Arbor Trunkline project to share lunch with our crews, engineers, and owner representatives and celebrate the hard work moving this project forward.

Getting everyone together over a good meal is one small way we can say thank you. From the field crews to the people coordinating, planning, and supporting the work, we appreciate the skill, dedication, and teamwork each person brings to the job.

Thank you to the entire project team—you’ve earned it!

How do you install a pipeline underground without digging a trench along the entire route? Microtunneling!

With our first pass complete on the Ann Arbor Trunkline Project, here’s a look at how the process works:

🔹 **Digging underground:** A microtunnel boring machine excavates the soil while an operator controls its progress remotely from the surface.

🔹 **Installing the pipe:** Powerful hydraulic jacks push pipe sections into place behind the machine as it advances.

🔹 **Removing the soil:** Excavated material mixes with slurry and is pumped to a separation plant above ground. The plant removes the soil, allowing the slurry to circulate back through the system.

🔹 **Staying on course:** A guidance system helps the operator keep the machine on the planned alignment and grade.

By working between access shafts, microtunneling reduces the need for continuous open excavation along the pipeline route, helping limit disruption above ground.

A lot happens beneath the surface—and our crews keep it moving!

First pass complete! 👏

Ric-Man’s crew has successfully completed the first microtunneling pass on the Ann Arbor Trunkline Project—a milestone worth celebrating!

Behind every successful hole-out is careful planning, precision, and teamwork. A big thank-you to our field crews and project partners for the hard work that made this one possible.

Proud of our team and looking forward to the next pass!

Yesterday in Ann Arbor, the community got a front-row seat to the underground world. 👷‍♂️

From our tunneling equipment to the secant shaft, and even a Q&A with our VP, it was a great chance to show what goes into building big infrastructure below the surface.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, signed the pipe, and got up close with the work happening beneath their streets.

Big tunnels. Big questions. Big community energy. 💪

Loaded up and Ann Arbor bound! 🚀

Our microtunneling machine is heading out to do what it does best: dig deep, stay out of sight, and make big infrastructure happen.

Let’s tunnel. 💪

Wow—what an incredible outpouring of support for our work on the Jefferson Relief Sewer Tunneling Project in St. Clair Shores!

We’ve been blown away by all the kind comments, shares, and messages on our recent post. Thank you to every resident, business owner, neighbor, and friend who’s taken the time to recognize our team’s hard work. Your encouragement means everything as we continue this vital project.

This 60-inch relief sewer is helping reduce combined sewer overflows, protecting Lake St. Clair’s water quality, and building a stronger, cleaner future for our community—one tunnel at a time.

A massive shoutout again to our partners:

Southeast Macomb Sanitary District (SEMSD)
City of St. Clair Shores
Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick (AEW)
And everyone who’s kept things moving smoothly despite the construction.

If you’ve seen the progress or have thoughts to share, drop a comment below—we love hearing from you!

Let’s keep spreading the word about investing in our infrastructure.

Grateful every day,

The RIC-MAN Construction Team

Hope y'all survived Christmas without getting left behind by your family... unlike some of us.😁

One day late, but still: Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals... and a Happy New Year!🎄🥂

If your house is currently booby-trapped with leftover wrapping paper and regretful calories, you're doing it right. Here's to 2026 — may your pizza arrive hot and your relatives leave on time.
